However, the laws of inheritance discovered by Gregor Mendel
(1822-84) and verified by the science of genetics, which flourished in
the twentieth century, utterly demolished the legend that acquired
traits were passed on to subsequent generations. Thus, natural selec-
tion fell out of favor as an evolutionary mechanism.
Neo-Darwinism and mutations
In order to find a solution, Darwinists advanced the "Modern Syn-
thetic Theory," or as it is more commonly known, Neo-Darwinism, at
the end of the 1930s. Neo-Darwinism added mutations, which are dis-
tortions formed in the genes of living beings due to such external fac-
tors as radiation or replication errors, as the "cause of favourable vari-
ations" in addition to natural mutation.
Today, the model that Darwinists espouse, despite their own
awareness of its scientific invalidity, is neo-Darwinism. The theory
maintains that millions of living beings formed as a result of a process
whereby numerous complex organs of these organisms (e.g., ears,
eyes, lungs, and wings) underwent "mutations," that is, genetic disor-
ders. Yet, there is an outright scientific fact that totally undermines this
theory: Mutations do not cause living beings to develop; on the con-
trary, they are always harmful.
Since the beginning of the
leg
antennae
twentieth century, evolu-
tionary biologists have
sought examples of benefi- eyes
cial mutations by creating
mutant flies. But these
efforts have always resul-
ted in sick and deformed
creatures. The top picture

mal fruit fly, and the pictu-
re on the left shows the
head of a fruit fly with legs
coming out of it, the result mouth
of mutation.
